I don't think Patterson would be as bad because #1 He was lighter than Rocky, he had to grow into a heavyweight and he was never a big one #2 Constant pressure against the D'Mato style broke down those fighters #3 Floyd was never known for having a sturdy chin.

Could Floyd have outboxed him, perhaps, but it would have been difficult to do.


I always wonder about Prime Marciano vs guys like Tyson, Holyfield, Qawi, James Toney, Michael Moorer, Bob Foster, etc. The guys who could fight from 175 up to heavyweight but weren't gigantic heavyweights
